Fiber Cement Siding is a dense cement-and-cellulose board (the category James Hardie made famous) that resists rot, fire, and pests, running about $6 to $13 per square foot installed in the New Orleans metro. A correct install lasts 30 to 50 years, as long as the right product is used and it is detailed properly for our climate. We provide written, itemized estimates for every Chalmette project, not a ballpark range at signing, and we install Gulf Coast-spec fiber cement siding, not the cheapest builder-grade product, because Chalmette’s humidity, UV, and storm exposure punish anything cut-rate on the exterior.
Why Fiber Cement Siding Works in Chalmette
Chalmette took catastrophic flooding in Katrina and rebuilt, so siding here is detailed above the flood line with high-wind fastening. Moisture drainage behind the panel is a priority, not an afterthought.
How we install fiber cement siding in Chalmette
Fiber cement does not rot, and termites and Formosan termites cannot eat it, which matters in Southeast Louisiana.
It is rated for high-wind and holds paint far longer than wood, with a repaint cycle around 15 years.
It is heavy and brittle, so correct fastening and flashing by a licensed crew is what makes it last here.
That detailing is the difference between a Chalmette exterior that lasts 30 to 50 years and one that fails early. It is also why we keep the work in-house instead of handing it to a subcontractor who may never set foot in St. Bernard Parish again.
